The press release includes two quotes that talk of the death of punk and alternative culture, and of the usefulness if humans could distill alcohol in their bodies in the cold and dark times, like the crucian carp fish found at the bottom of anoxic seas. The trailer for the exhibition (below) features a startup group that plans to use the alcohol produced by the Northern European as a business enterprise.

The press release for Dear Diary explains a process of diary writing. On one side of the paper the artist writes an observational and “as emotionless as possible” account of what has happened during the day. On the other side she writes how she felt.

See the event image below for an excerpt of the diary, written in Nida, Lithuania. It will be interesting to see how Rönkkö translates or extends the diary, which sits between intimate act and formal presentation to a physical gallery space.
